There are several ways to analyze the perspectives of the registrants. There are three to four major
categories, which are academia, government, industry, and nongovernmental organizations. Academia
representatives are from educational and research organizations. Government representatives are from
regulatory agencies including domestic, municipal, federal, and international.
1.
Broad perspectives include a view of the registrants in terms of academia, government, industry
and nongovernmental organizations.
2.
Specific perspectives include further categorization of registrants by categories of industry,
categories of government, and if necessary by types of academia.
3.
Regional perspectives include categorization of registrants by regions of the world and/or
regions of a particular region.
As needed, registrants will be further categorized as or if needed to clarify perspectives.

Broad Perspectives
(Figure 1)
Nearly
70%
of
the
organizational registrants are
from the broad group of
industry. Twenty (20) percent
of the registrants are from
government agencies. A
smaller
amount
of
the
registrants is from academic
organizations and eight percent
of registrants are from global
nongovernmental
organizations can be associated
with either academia, government, or industry, but are not. To develop a list of representative voting
members to demonstrate consensus for SPIFAN, the industry perspective is large enough to require
further categorization.
